Will

Will made by Francisco Gonçalves de Almeida, in which he ordered the foundation of an entail composed of properties in Portalegre's district, with a perpetual mass obligation of fifty masses celebrated every year on the mother church of this city. He named his grandson António as first administrator and after his death the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. If António died without heirs, the administration should be handled, in this order, to his eldest sister, whose name is not mentioned, or his youngest sister, Catarina. If none of them had children, the entail would be inherited by the closest relative, but instead of a perpetual mass obligation of fifty masses, the administrators should order the perpetual celebration of a daily mass. All administrators were obliged to annex half of their own reserved portions to the entail. He also disposed that if an administrator married with a person of hebrew or moorish ancestry, he or she should lose the administration of the entail.
